The last three winners of Eurovision only got to the contest, after losing in a previous national final first. This year, many artists with a similar track record will try to follow in their footsteps. In this episode we highlight the NAVI band from Belarus.

Belarus has only made it to the top-10 of the Eurovision Song Contest on one occasion, back in 2007. This year, with the contest being held in their neighbour country Ukraine, they really want to get a good result again, states our editor Sadie Trent.

Indie pop group NAVI will represent Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest in their neighbouring country Ukraine. This Friday the duo was victorious at the national final in Belarus, where 13 acts took part.

In the next few hours, Belarus will be the next nation to choose its Eurovision 2017 participant and song in their national final. You don’t have to miss anything and follow our live blog by editor Sadie Trent here!
